the appearance of water in a mirage

.

The mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it.

–Nisargadatta Maharaj

The appearance
of water in a mirage persists after the fact that it is a mirage has
dawned on us. So it is with the world. Though knowing it to be unreal,
it continues to manifest - but we do not try to satisfy our thirst with
the water of the mirage. As soon as one knows that it is a mirage, one
gives it up as useless and does not run after it to get water.
